Acts is an action book, a story about the early church. It's not trying to give us catchy phrases or advice, it's not the record of someone teaching or preaching. So it's not surprising that most people don't learn many memory verses from Acts. We want to remember the people and places and events, not the words.
Yet there are some passages which have wonderful statements
worth tucking away into memory.
We have listed some here.
If you would like to memorize a passage, use the Practice puzzle. Read the passage a few times, and then try to re-assemble the mixed-up sentences without looking at the passage more than you can help. Or try one of our Mixed Pics, and reassemble the picture of the verse the way it should look.
When you think you know a passage off by heart, try the Challenge puzzle. Good luck!
| Acts 1: 6-8 | Practice |
So when they met together,
they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom
to Israel?" He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." |

| Acts 2: 17-21 | Practice |
In the last days, God says, I
will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' |

22-24

Practice | "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God’s set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him." |

| Acts 2: 42-47 | Practice | They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. |

| Acts 17: 24-27 | Practice | The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. |
